Twitter said said they were determined to do more to tackle abuse.

A spokesperson said: "Abuse and harassment have no place on Twitter. We've introduced a range of new tools and features to improve our platform for everyone, and we're now taking action on ten times the number of abusive accounts every day then the same time in 2016.

"We will continue to build on these efforts and meet the challenge head on."

The firm highlighted new rules and systems which have removed twice the number of repeat offender accounts.
